- Every day in the UK, 50 adults and children are diagnosed with a brain tumour. Twenty percent of all cancer patients develop secondary brain tumours. They are the most common solid tumours in children. Their incidence has increased over the last 30 years, yet the prognosis remains bleak.
Brain Tumour UK is a national charity dedicated to finding better treatments and hopefully one day a cure for this terrible group of diseases. We provide much needed support and information for patients, families and carers, especially through our support groups and Helpline. We also provide funding for vital research into the causes and effects of brain tumours and their treatments.
For more information please visit our website www.braintumouruk.org.uk or phone our Helpline 0845 4500 386 or email support@braintumouruk.org.uk.
As a registered charity (No. 111753
, Brain Tumour UK always welcomes support from fundraisers. If you wish to raise funds for our important work, please contact us.
